      Computer Associates International, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this report for a 15-day extension, from June 14 to June 29, 2005, for filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”). The Company is filing for this extension because management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting, which is required to be included in the Form 10-K by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and related SEC rules, has not been completed. In addition, as previously announced, the Company is restating its financial statements for fiscal years 2003 and 2004 and certain financial information for fiscal years 2001 and 2002 and quarterly periods in fiscal year 2005 for inclusion in the Form 10-K and this process has not been completed. The Company could not complete these activities, together with the preparation of the financial statements and other information required in the Form 10-K, by the initial filing deadline without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company expects to file the Form 10-K by June 29, 2005.
 
      For more information about the matters described above, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed in part and furnished in part with the SEC on May 26, 2005.

PART IV— OTHER INFORMATION

(1)   Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification
         
Kenneth V. Handal   631   342-6000
         
(Name)   (Area Code)   (Telephone Number)

(2)   Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).
 
    Yes x       No ¨
 

(3)   Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
 
    Yes x     No ¨     
 
    If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
 
    As previously indicated in the earnings release and other information included in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed in part and furnished in part with the SEC on May 26, 2005, the Company expects to report, in the Form 10-K, revenue and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations that are higher for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 than for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004. The information about the Company's results of operations in the earnings release issued on May 26, 2005 was reported on a preliminary basis, however, as the Company completes the preparation of its financial statements and the related audit process for fiscal year 2005. This process could result in adjustments to net income or other previously reported results for fiscal year 2005 that are unrelated to the adjustments relating to the restatement of prior year financial statements described in the Current Report on Form 8-K.
